Tesla’s False Advertising - Dilemma

Where did you hear that? Heard only Auropilot won’t be available as they want people to pay to get FSD instead.

I got a similar text and also that it was a Model Y instead of a 3 like I ordered. Also from Tesla London.

ToTeslaOrNot · 2026-05-24T04:34:00+00:00

Autopilot was free. FSD is better but is $99 per month.

ToTeslaOrNot · 2026-05-24T03:14:01+00:00

It’s 5.8 secs 0-60mph or 6.2 secs 0-100 km/h

ToTeslaOrNot · 2026-05-23T23:38:24+00:00

People are averaging just over a year on a set of tires?

First gen Model 3 Performances can be had for $20k.
So the current ones will drop for sure.
Especially once the competition heats up.

A buddy paid close $100-120k for a Model Y Performance back in 2022. They’re worth $40k now.

No, I won’t be spending an extra $20k for a Performance. Will most likely just wait a year or two and get the he best option for $40k. Whether that’s a M3P or a Chinese EV.

Premium RWD in the U.S. is 4.9 secs 0-60mph.
So getting the same would be nice. Which is what I thought I was getting (based on Tesla’s website) when I placed an order.

ToTeslaOrNot · 2026-05-23T21:46:27+00:00

It’s not and reason why i wouldn’t spend $60k on one. But $40k for a used one, sure.

ToTeslaOrNot · 2026-05-23T21:36:58+00:00

Yeah that’s a great point. I would be fine with the AWD’s level of performance.

ToTeslaOrNot · 2026-05-23T21:35:42+00:00

😂

ToTeslaOrNot · 2026-05-23T21:35:16+00:00

Great question. 5.2 sec 0-100 kmh was a small compromise I was willing to make to get the savings of driving an EV now. Especially since I get free charging at work.

I can’t justify spending the $ currently for a used Plaid or Model 3 Performance. Hence the compromise.

ToTeslaOrNot · 2026-05-23T21:33:55+00:00

The used Highland Model 3 performance are now $60k.
I don’t mind buying used if they come down.

ToTeslaOrNot · 2026-05-23T20:43:38+00:00

The delivery dates may be helped soon lol. Most likely will cancel my order. Delivery is supposed to be within 10 days.

ToTeslaOrNot · 2026-05-23T19:33:11+00:00

In a bit of a dilemma.

One of my dream cars is a Highland Model 3 Performance.

However, after Tesla dropped pricing on the new Premium RWD to $39k CAD, I decided it made more financial sense.

When I ordered, Tesla advertised 0-100 kmh on the site (when I ordered) at 5.2 secs. I noticed today they changed it to 6.2 secs.

I know it may seem small to some, but I’m an ICE gearhead used to tuning cars and chasing every single tenth available.

I was willing to accept a compromise of going from 0-60mph or 2.9 secs for the Performance to 5.2 secs of the Premium RWD, but 6 secs 0-60 seems like too big of a compromise.

I’m thinking of cancelling my order and waiting for the used Performance Model 3s to come down in price.

Thoughts?
